DbVisualizer Reviews & Product Details

I am pleased to be able to navigate the application and find what I need to work with the SQL server I require, without having to be in constant search of an update or extra files.

The customer support service has a very fast response time, which made me very happy when I requested help, even when the time difference is significant, as I am in a different country and continent.

The installation and configuration were very simple; it doesn't have major system requirements, so it runs smoothly during long sessions and uses the system's resources correctly, without causing conflicts.

It is also very easy to connect to the databases, as a menu with a list is displayed, and you can use a security password to access the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no negative comments about the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really value the ability to work across different database platforms, especially MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server, and to support all of their versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You need to be careful about how much data you pull when retrieving records, since it consumes memory that has to be configured properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool is very flexible and I can have connection to multiple types of database servers and databases at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't come across any at all. I like everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that DbVisualizer is free and easy to use, with multiple features like saving queries and impressive execution speed. I enjoy how stable it is while working with AS400 DB2 and handling large tables smoothly. The autocomplete and query history features are very useful, especially when working with large legacy tables where remembering column names is challenging. I also appreciate being able to export data directly without additional steps, and the setup was quite simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When working with very large queries, the results take time. While it's clean, it looks old compared to the latest tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using it for quite a while, and the UI is very simple, responsive, and intuitive. It has all the commands you can think of, and they’re ready to use right away. I use it daily, and it makes my life easier when it comes to working with DBs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only negative point I’ve noticed so far is that it disconnects very often, so I constantly have to reconnect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easily connects to different enterprise databases. We have a mix of Oracle and Microsoft here, and it’s been really helpful for creating routines to set up departmental lakehouses. More importantly, it’s an excellent tool to show students in the classroom how to structure SQL and run it in real time with real data.

I use the tool daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You have to renew the educational license every year, but since that’s the industry norm, it isn’t a major issue for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I tried several alternatives, we have many tables across DBs and others couldn't handle the listing of the tables. The package it very comprehensive and offers more capabilities than most (paid version) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the number of options, there are many icons to figure out how to use. Exporting could be simpler (multiple confirmations before getting CSV out) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The basics are all there plus incredibly powerful tools. Setting up or copying connections is incredibly easy. My favorite feature is the editor templates, which have allowed me to automate all the steps in common admin tasks. Relationship diagrams/lists for complex interactions have been extremely helpful. I love being able to type now into a field and get a timestamp. The features for selecting, copying and exporting are very user friendly. Great documentation. DbVis support is top notch! I always get a response in less than 24 hours, and they know their product inside out. Setting up connections are extremely simple, and it is easy to move between different types of databases, integrating scripts. I use it every day. Happy camper.

Formatting everything in a query after FROM with () and ` characters. I always have to edit/replace because they make it difficult for me to read/edit the query. Same for the DDL. In the data grid, it is somewhat of a pain to have to change the ID column to (null) when you copy a record, but that may be a function of the MySql/MariaDB.

Single tool for access to all databases used in the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Memory consumption.

Saving and exporting part of the tables of a schema. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is very easy to learn and use. It integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of databases, without needing to download separate files just to ensure connections. We use DbVisualizer every day to better understand our data repositories and to build meaningful data tables that can then be used in other platforms for end users. There are plenty of customisation options available, which means less time spent reworking data and scripts to make everything fit for purpose. The SQL history feature is also great: I keep the 300 most recent entries visible, and the summary for each query makes it easy to quickly find the one I’m looking for.

There isn’t much to dislike; the only thing I can think of is one small frustration. If I have a window open—say, the Data Monitor—and then open the SQL History window, the Data Monitor closes. It would be better to be able to keep multiple windows open at the same time, so Data Monitor, SQL History, Tool Properties, etc. can all stay open together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
